Family to Family Program

Have you ever wanted to talk to someone who has “been there?” The Family-to-Family Program at Boston Children’s Hospital is a short-term peer mentoring program that connects patients and families with other patients and families who are facing similar health-related challenges.

The Family to Family Program matches take place most often in the outpatient setting, with trained mentors on hand to talk with families by phone to listen and share their experience. In a few places, trained teen mentors go to the bedside to talk with patients in the hospital.

Boston Children's Hospital has been named the #1 children's hospital in the nation by U.S. News and World Report for the fifth year in a row! It's an honor that we could not have achieved without you. On behalf of every member of our Boston Children's team, thank you for inspiring us to be bolder, dream bigger, and make the impossible possible for our patients and families.
